What would the Easter Bunny say?

Kinder students are so stinkin cute. I worked with them again this week and we worked on a response to the prompt "What would the Easter Bunny say if he/she could talk?" Instead of just a regular written response we turned it into a quick video with ChatterPix. If we do it again I would want the kids to draw their own bunnies but there was no time this week.

Plickers

Today was a extra busy day. After helping an excited 5th grade class log into their GAFE accounts, experiment with Gmail and share documents, I headed over to another 5th grade class to try out a new site. I stumbled across Plickers yesterday and wanted to see if really was as easy as the video made it seem. I typed up some science questions to go with the Energy unit 5th graders are currently studying. Then I ventured over to the classroom of  my neighbor Mrs Friend. Doesn't she have the most perfect name for a teacher, Friend? And she lives up to her name, she is one of the most friendliest people I know. Anyway she agreed to let her class be guinea pigs and let me try this app/site out on them.  They had so much fun and it was super easy to use. I didn't have to walk around or hold a receiver in a strange angle so that every one's remote could reach the signal.  I just stood there with my phone as they held up their pieces of paper. I can't wait to try it out with more classes next week. Well I'm off to paint pumpkins and make BOO bags. When did Halloween become the new Christmas? I am doing just as many crafts this weekend to prepare for next week as I do in December. Bah Humbug!
